Satisfy Your Appetite To Help: Dine Out For HIV/AIDS Care Spring 2018

January 4, 2018

Powerful Dining Out For Life Fundraiser Set For Thursday, April 26th; NYC Takes a Seat at the Table.

CHERRY HILL, N.J., Jan. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Dining Out For Life® hosted by Subaru® is a restaurant-based event with a truly fulfilling call to action: Dine at one of the 3,000 participating restaurants in more than 60 cities across North America on Thursday, April 26, 2018 and that restaurant will donate a generous portion of the day’s proceeds to fund HIV/AIDS care, prevention, education, testing, counseling and other essential services in their city. An average of $4 million is raised annually – in the past ten years, Dining Out For Life has raised roughly $38 million for the wellness of those affected by HIV/AIDS.

Volunteer spokespeople include Ted Allen, host of Food Network’s Chopped, actor Pam Grier (Foxy Brown,Jackie Brown), HIV-positive designer Mondo Guerra, winner of Lifetime’s Project Runway All-Stars, and chef Daisy Martinez from Food Network’s Viva Daisy! “The wonderful thing about Dining Out for Life is you can do it three times a day, a different restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner,” says Mondo Guerra. “You can sit down and have a meal with someone interesting, someone you love, maybe someone you haven’t seen in a while. And, it’s an opportunity to have a conversation. The fight against this disease begins with real, honest conversation.”
